Hi, Batman,The outer lip of many LPs can be 4mm thick but the lip doesn't ride on the platter or platter mat so doesn't affect record height.
For reference, I found that LP thicknesses range from 0.80mm to 2.20mm and the majority of "non-audiophile" LPs are 1.0mm to 1.2mm thick. That's based on measuring hundreds of LP records with a thickness gauge.
Regards,
Tom

That's good info. Do you have measurements for typical 180 gm, 200 gm records?
I posted the results of 200 LP measurements on my AA gallery. I still take full measurements every so often, but don't plan on updating the results anytime soon.

Why do you measure with a record on the platter?

Hi, BCR,
I don't measure them when they're on the platter, I use the top middle shelf of the stereo rack. Much easier. :-)
I measured the weight and thickness of 200 LPs just to answer a couple of questions I had about LPs. Now I know.
I continue to measure the thickness of each record so I know which platter mat to use to maintain a relatively consistent 2.0 mm record height. I just write down the thickness in the corner of each record sleeve. Doesn't take very long and once it's done, it's done.
Regards,
Tom
